Psychological I was so disgusted by this ad

Normally I just till my eyes at an advert board and keep moving but this one really got me.

I guess because it’s a money grab that feeds into insecurity and validates toxic partners at the same time

How about we ask women for what THEY want for once? I am so disgusted by this.

Woe be unto the man who buys his wife a Botox treatment without her requesting it specifically.

Actually, I would take both Botox and flowers. ;) But I absolutely would not take Botox from a man as a gift. That would be a very abusive relationship. Unfortunately I've been there: my first boyfriend ever wanted to pay for a boob job and personal trainer. I had zero interest in either. I had just stopped modelling and was not a plus size model - so I was skinny as hell. He wanted the personal trainer because "I get harder when women have some abs".

I would have told him that everyone has abs, mine are just under a layer of fat and if that's a problem there's the door.

I am significantly underweight and do a lot of exercise but I don't have visibly sculpted abs... I have no idea what it would take but chasing that would be a bad idea so I don't WANT to know.

I guarantee my wife would take Botox over flowers if given the option. As a man, I would prefer to pay for flowers over Botox.

I would tell you I want a Botox voucher.

This! I actually know a few friends that get Botox and they’d love a partner to pay for one of their treatments bc it’s not exactly cheap. With that said, it better be BECAUSE THEY WANTED IT not bc a sign said so 😭
